"Mysterious ship? The sea? No wonder there are no clues about the missing people after so long. It's not easy to find someone in the vast sea. "
When Kaede Sato heard the old man's words, his eyes suddenly narrowed. He then shifted his attention to the nearby boundless sea and thought thoughtfully.
He now somewhat understood why the Kaina Police Station couldn't find the missing people even after mobilizing so many people. Obviously, the people from the Oceanic Research Institute had been kidnapped by the kidnappers and taken to the sea.
In the sea, even the best police dog couldn't do anything about it. The sea had long covered up the smell of the dog.
Moreover, the kidnappers were very skilled and didn't leave any clues. It would be strange if the police could find the missing people in this way.
"Thank you for your explanation, sir. I still have something to do, so I won't disturb you any longer."
After Kaede Sato got the information he wanted, he stood up and bowed to the old man. He then turned around and left the small fishing village. After that, he spent a little money to hitch a ride to the city.
On the way, he also used the communicator in his hand to call Captain Regou and told him about the disappearance of Dr. Hyde in detail.
Captain Regou and Dr. Hyde were obviously very close friends. As soon as Captain Regou heard about the disappearance of his old friend, he couldn't sit still. He quickly rushed to the Elf Center in the center of Kaina City and met up with Kaede Sato.
When Kaede Sato took a taxi to the Elf Center in the center of Kaina City, Regou had already arrived. He was accompanied by two capable sailors. At this time, he was talking to Miss Jun Sha in a room of the Elf Center.
"Zheping, you're here. The captain is angry. Come and put out the fire for him."
In front of the gate of the Elf Center, as soon as a fat man saw Kaede Sato, he quickly greeted him with a smile, then whispered into Kaede Sato's ear.
This fat man was called Reba. He was the first mate of the ship and an orphan raised by Regou. It was said that he was the son of Regou's dead comrade. Therefore, he was loyal to Regou and regarded Regou as his father. He had been accompanying Regou for decades.
Kaede Sato had fought bravely during the ghost ship incident and had even rescued Leigu's beloved cruise ship. Naturally, the first mate on the ship had a good impression of Kaede Sato. In the two days after the incident, the first mate had come to invite Kaede Sato to drink and eat.
"Brother Ba, look at what you're saying. Even if the captain is angry, I have to stand aside. How could I dare to cross the line?"
When Kaede Sato heard Reba's words, he couldn't help but show a sincere smile on his face. Then, he joked.
"Alas, Mr. Todd's whereabouts are unknown now. The captain is worried to death. Mr. Todd is one of the few old friends of the captain."
"When the captain asks you later, you must avoid the important and dwell on the trivial. The captain is old and not in good health. He was injured a few days ago. I'm afraid that he will be angry and attack his heart."
When Reba heard this, his smile immediately disappeared. Then, he led Kaede Sato to the room where Regou and the others were. He whispered to Kaede Sato.
Kaede Sato naturally had no objection to this. His expression suddenly became serious, and then he nodded to Reba, indicating that he knew what to do.
Regou naturally noticed Kaede Sato's arrival. When Kaede Sato came to his side under Reba's lead, he let go of the sweaty Miss Junsha in front of him and turned to ask Kaede Sato about the Oceanic Research Institute.
Kaede Sato didn't know much, and he had already talked about the Oceanic Research Institute in detail on the phone. Now, he had to tell him some details that he hadn't explained in detail.
At the same time, he also told some of his speculations and said that the kidnappers should want something very important from Dr. Todd and the others, and that Dr. Todd and the others should not be in danger at the moment.
"Zheping, I didn't expect you to be such a master of deduction. Your speculations are similar to those useless guys in the police station here. Dr. Todd and the others must have been kidnapped and taken to the sea. Damn, this is really making me anxious. Where can we find them in this vast sea?"
When Regou heard Kaede Sato's words, his old-fashioned face suddenly relaxed a little, and then he said rudely in front of Miss Junsha.
Miss Junsha was also a smart person. She knew that Regou's status in the alliance was much higher than hers. In addition, she and the others had not made any breakthroughs yet. Even if she was ridiculed at this time, she could only endure it.
Therefore, her expression did not change at this time, as if she didn't hear Regou's ridicule just now.
Then, Jun Shahong turned her gaze to Kaede Sato. She had also heard about the cruise ship's encounter with the Specter Ship two days ago. Naturally, the name Zheping had reached her ears.
Before receiving orders from the higher-ups to come here and report the situation of the Oceanic Research Institute to Regou, she had conducted a detailed investigation on Zheping through the internal resources of the Alliance.
Therefore, she knew that "Zheping" was originally a top student at Kingman College in the city, and that his recent unfortunate encounter had miraculously woken up from a hospital bed.
Now, from Kaede Sato's wonderful deduction, she knew that the young man in front of her, who might have met the Grim Reaper once, was not simple. There was no doubt that he was a top student at Kingman College.
"Hello, Mr. Zheping. Thank you for your heroic performance the day before yesterday. My name is Jun Shahong, and I am now a detective of the Kaina City Alliance Police Department.
It's a pleasure to meet you. "After recalling Zheping's information, Jun Shahong spoke to Kaede Sato in a pleasant manner. She then extended a hand to Kaede Sato to show her friendliness.
"Hello, I am Zheping."
Kaede Sato was now playing the role of Zheping, who was currently a little unsociable. Naturally, he would not be polite to Jun Shahong, who he had just met for the first time. He just shook hands with her calmly and briefly introduced himself.
Jun Shahong knew about Zheping's situation. She knew that it was normal for a person who had experienced major setbacks and life and death terrors to change his personality. Therefore, she did not care about Kaede Sato's cold attitude. She nodded to Kaede Sato and continued to smile.
Soon, Jun Shahong finished reporting the situation of the Oceanic Research Institute to Regou. She saluted Regou and quickly left the room.
Because he came halfway, Kaede Sato did not hear Jun Shahong's report to Regou about the situation of the Oceanic Research Institute. However, when he heard the words "Team Ocean", he knew the seriousness of the kidnapping.
Although Jun Shahong did not explain in detail why Team Ocean had kidnapped the people of the Oceanic Research Institute, Kaede Sato could tell from Jun Shahong's words that the Oceanic Research Institute had not only lost people, but also a very valuable item.
This valuable item was very dangerous. Once it fell into the hands of lawbreakers, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Obviously, the original purpose of the people of Team Ocean was to snatch this very valuable item from the Oceanic Research Institute. However, halfway through, the people of Team Ocean realized that they did not have the ability to use this valuable item, so they also kidnapped the people of the Oceanic Research Institute.
"Sir, what are you going to do? I'm afraid this is not something we can interfere with. You'd better not be impulsive."
After thinking for a while, Kaede Sato looked at Regou, who had an ugly expression on his face, and tried to persuade him.
